I am trying to figure out what color grout to do in my kitchen backsplash. Is there a standard color for white subway tile?
My cabinets are traditional white shaker with calacutta gold marble counters. Should I go with white grout for the subway tile or something creamy to go with the counter top. Photos would be great. Thanks |

Something in a slight off-white, like a beige or light grey, depending on the other colors in the room, would work nicely to not only show off the pattern, but make it a little easier to keep clean. You don't want to go all the way to black, because that'll overpower not only the tile, but everything else, as well. Here's a pic of white subway tiles with black grout: |
This probably won't be the popular opinion, but we did white grout with our white subway tile. Our granite is a warm colour but I wanted the grout to compliment the white tiles with a hint of grey, so the granite was the star. We're clean cooks so we decided not to seal the grout, based on some advice we got here on GW as well as other research. If you're a "messier" cook you can seal the grout. |
Bill thanks for the photo. I love the look of the black but NOT for my kitchen. ( I have bathroom questions for you regarding Hex tile) What color is alabaster grout? Redroze your kitchen looks great. Like the lights..where did you get them? how much? how large? thanks |
Thanks Alterit! You can find all the info on the pendant lights on my blog. |

White or light grey would be traditional and seem to be okay on vertical surfaces, dark grey to black seems to look best on floors with white, IMO. |

My Subway Ceramics Avalon white tile was installed today (yeah!). I picked a white shade of grout called "alabaster." It should be a very subtle look. I did also think some of the grays would've looked great if I'd wanted more contrast. My tile guy had something like 30 colors of grout to pick from! |
If you want the traditional look go for a very thin grout line, 1/16th of an inch if possible, with a light/medium grey grout. I agree, the picture Bill V. shows is overwhelming, but with a "pencil line" of grout, it looks pretty sharp. Don't rule out anything but white on the basis of that one (agreeably shocking) photo. There is middle ground. Just have a good long talk with your tile guy first, so neither of you has any surprises. Good luck! |
chachashea do you have a picture of your subway tile with alabaster coloured grout? |
stay close to your counter color. Do not add other colors in the grout. |

They put on the alabaster grout this morning and I love it. If I can figure out how to post a picture, bellcrest, I will. |

chachashea, I'm considering the Subway ceramics in Avalon as well and I have Minas soapstone, so thanks for posting the pic. Any chance you can post another pic of the subway tile from further away to take in more of it and include your cabs? Also, how was the install? Did your contractor order it or were you able to order the tile directly? Thanks. |
- Posted by chachashea (My Page) on Wed, Apr 15, 09 at 22:17
I will try and take another picture farther away tomorrow during the day. My contractor did order it. The tile "master" and his tile "boy" put all the tile up yesterday and grouted today. Of course my kitchen is only approx. 12'x12'. I like the nice tight grout lines he achieved. It looks very similar to the original subway tiles I have in my bathroom. |
- Posted by pluckymama (My Page) on Wed, Apr 15, 09 at 22:52
Your tile guy did a great job with the grout lines! Can't wait to see the pic tomorrow. You must be excited for how quickly it's coming along! |

I did Horus Art white subway tile with a herringbone pattern calcutta marble tile behind my stove- White sanded grout. My cabinets are painted BM White Dove. It came out beautiful. Hope it helps! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Marble Herringbone and White Subway Tile
The pictures of the tone-on-tone subway tiles here are beautiful. Thanks to those who shared their own. Just wanted to add the following: Black grout will give your kitchen a totally different look. Not only that but strange things can happen with dark grout. Check out the link below to see an amazingly weird illusion that can be created with black grout. I saw this in San Francisco and was mesmerized at how square tiles could me made to look so strange. Maybe someone with an avante garde kitchen will use this and we will all get to ooh and ah over the result! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Crazy Tile Illusion with Black grout.
I have the Subway Ceramics Avalon / Minas with a medium gray grout. And a Shaw's white sink, if anyone is considering that, by the way. (My contractor could have ordered it directly, but at his request, I went through a tile store, and by the time everyone had put their sugar onto it, it was OBSCENELY expensive.) I'm not an installation expert, but at least with the Subway Ceramics, the installers use little plastic spacers between the tiles (I think some others have their own spacers?) when they put them up, they don't do it freehand, so how much grout you get is a function of 1) the limits set by the curvature of the tile and 2) what size spacers they use. So you might be willing to go a little darker with a smaller grout line, or with a handmade tile that refuses to go close together, you might want to stay light. The traditional color is close to concrete. But most modern people don't seem to like that, so do what pleases you! |

Here is a shot of the kitchen from the next room. The hood is still covered in protective film, it is stainless. There is a tile cap above the black pencil line. |
i am getting ready to put in a backsplash, but cant decide what color grout. From the pics above, i really like the white grout and the one with grey. But my counter top is a tan/brown granite. With that said would i be better off doing a creamy or beige color grout? |
I would not want to see the grout. I'd choose it based on the color of the backsplash tiles, not the countertop. |
Redroze - I know this thread is old but do you still like your backsplash? It looks gorgeous! |

Rivers of the World
The future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create. Barack Obama
Rivers of the World is the Thames Festival Trust's flagship, year-round, international education programme, delivered in partnership with the British Council's Connecting Classrooms.
With the help of professional artists, led by Shona Watt, students create magnificent works of art that are publicly displayed beside rivers across the globe, the programme annually links thousands of young people in river cities around the world through exploring a common theme: their waterway.
In 2014, the programme is on target to have engaged with 80,000 young people, 5,000 schools and 10,000 teachers in London and internationally since it began. This year, young teenagers from schools across London will collaborate with students in New Orleans (USA), Taipei (Taiwan) and Jhelum (Pakistan).
An estimated one million people see the artworks every year through open-air exhibitions in London and participating cities around the world. In London, they are displayed by the Thames on the South Bank during the Mayor's Thames Festival.
Please click on these links for more details on participating schools, education resource packs, and previous exhibitions around the world.

Someone in the building my office is located threw this plant away. I heard from the cleaning lady that the woman was trying to kill it and just about gave up trying. It looks all long and weird, but the leaves still have great color and are so pretty. I'd like to save it. I hate that it's all long and weird. Would I be able to cut it short somehow and replant it?

Ideally find it a nice shady moist place and give it some outdoor love (if you have a bright but not sunny place). It may want to go dormant in fall, or may be able to keep it as houseplant, I've never tried to overwinter one in the house. I usually treated them as tender summer bulbs and stored 'lightly moist' in soil/spagnum for winter. I'm sure someone else will have further advise. |

In 1927, Jack Cohen had a vision. Packing a pushcart full of high-quality frames, he began to sell fashionable spectacles to his fellow merchants along New York City's Orchard Street. After expanding into a small shop on a Lower East Side corner, that humble little cart has since evolved into more than 100 retail outlets known as Cohen's Fashion Optical, where customers fortify their eyesight with a range of acuity-boosting products and services. Rows of frames boast the signature contours of several designer brands, including Tag Heuer, Dolce & Gabbana, Bulgari, and Gucci.

All Drone Politics Is Local
6:17 pm in Uncategorized by David Swanson
What Localities and States Can Do About Drones
Charlottesville, Va., passed a resolution that urged the state of Virginia to adopt a two-year moratorium on drones (which it did), urged both Virginia and the U.S. Congress to prohibit information obtained from the domestic use of drones from being introduced into court, and to preclude the domestic use of drones equipped with "anti-personnel devices, meaning any projectile, chemical, electrical, directed-energy (visible or invisible), or other device designed to harm, incapacitate, or otherwise negatively impact a human being," and pledged that Charlottesville would "abstain from similar uses with city-owned, leased, or borrowed drones."
St. Bonifacius, Minn., passed a resolution with the same language as Charlottesville plus a ban on anyone operating a drone "within the airspace of the city," making a first offense a misdemeanor and a repeat offense a felony.
Evanston, Ill., passed a resolution establishing a two-year moratorium on the use of drones in the city with exceptions for hobby and model aircraft and for non-military research, and making the same recommendations to the state and Congress as Charlottesville and St. Bonifacius.
Northampton, Mass., passed a resolution urging the U.S. government to end its practice of extrajudicial killing with drones, affirming that within the city limits "the navigable airspace for drone aircraft shall not be expanded below the long-established airspace for manned aircraft" and that "landowners subject to state laws and local ordinances have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the airspace and that no drone aircraft shall have the 'public right of transit' through this private property," and urging the state and Congress and the FAA "to respect legal precedent and constitutional guarantees of privacy, property rights, and local sovereignty in all matters pertaining to drone aircraft and navigable airspace."
See full text of all resolutions at warisacrime.org/resolutions
Other cities, towns, and counties should be able to pass similar resolutions. Of course, stronger and more comprehensive resolutions are best. But most people who learned about the four resolutions above just leaned that these four cities had "banned drones" or "passed an anti-drone resolution." The details are less important in terms of building national momentum against objectionable uses of drones. By including both surveillance and weaponized drones, as all four cities have done, a resolution campaign can find broader support. By including just one issue, a resolution might meet fewer objections. Asking a city just to make recommendations to a state and the nation might also meet less resistance than asking the city to take actions itself. Less can be more.

In the Washington Oral Health Foundation's first-ever oral health blitz on a community, WOHF Volunteers and Staff went to every school in Sequim, Washington, to make oral health presentations, pass out oral hygiene goodie bags, and provide positive anti-drug and tobacco messaging to older students. By blanketing the school system and adding a Smile Night at the Sequim Boys and Girls Club, the Foundation was able to present to more than 800 area children. Sequim District School Nurse Sonja Bittner would like to make it an annual event, where WOHF volunteers present each year to a new group of students. WOHF staff and volunteers visited the following locations: Greywolf Elementary, Haller Elementary, Sequim Middle School, Sequim High School and the Sequim Boys and Girls Club. Special thanks to the following presenters: Sandy Hardymon, Errin Aidane, RDH, Jennifer Zbaraschuk, RDH and Sonja Bittner.
You know that sinking feeling you get when you realize you were supposed to do something and you missed it? Like: Today it's my spouse's turn to pick up the kids. Uh… nope, it was yours. So, who does have the kids? Or remembering — just as you're walking in the door — that it's your sweetheart's birthday, and you've forgotten to get her anything. Oops.
If you find yourself wishing you could communicate better with your Spanish-speaking patients, you're not alone! This workshop will teach you how to properly greet your Latino patients, identify terms used to describe and locate pain, as well as teach you the correct Spanish terms for oral hygiene, fillings, and extractions. No Spanish skills are needed to participate in this workshop.

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

Sina Zarrintan, a neurologist from the Tabriz Medical University in Iran, says that the logic behind this proposition is based on the fact that the nose and the genitals are both connected to the same part of the nervous system that controls certain reflexes - the sympathetic nervous system.
The researcher points out that swollen and inflamed nasal blood vessels, irritated either by an infection or by pollen in the air, generally lead to blocked nose.
Zarrintan reckons that a well-timed ejaculation, during which the sympathetic nervous system constricts blood vessels across the body, should soothe the swollen nasal blood vessels and, thereby, free the airway for normal breathing.
Although no clinical trials have been performed to test Zarrintan's hypothesis, he believes that it may have many benefits over decongestant drugs if proved to work.
He highlights the fact that decongestant have been known to contribute to hypertension.
"Furthermore, if used for more than two or three days, they can actually make congestion worse," New Scientist magazine quoted him as saying.
He recommends masturbating or having sex whenever the symptoms are bad enough to warrant another ejaculation.
"It can be done (from) time-to-time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbations depending on the severity of the symptoms," he said.
A research article on Zarrintan's suggestion has been published in the journal Medical Hypotheses.

When we masturbate often, we often notice that we feel tired after the initial excitement and stimulation. Soon after ejaculation, our legs, shoulders and our abdomen feel tired. We also experience the diffuculty in urinating immediately. The reasons are as under;
There are 5 kinds of Prana in our body, they are;
1. Prana - Energy required for the body to work.
2. Apana - Prana required for the body to eliminate Stools, Semen, Urine, and eliminating toxins during the menstrual cycle.
3. Udana - Prana required to optimise the power of thought and expression thereafter.
4. Samana - Prana required to digest and assimilate.
5. Vyana - The prana required for the circulation of energy, blood, nutrition, and movement, speech etc.
When ejaculation happens, we will feel the anus/rectum contracting thereby reversing the flow of Apana, which also prevents the flow of urine immediately.
What happens as a result is thus;
a. The reversed Prana (apana) goes up and agitates the diapraghm. When this happens, the organs in line with the diapraghm such as the Liver, Gall Bladder, Stomach and Spleen get affected.
Also, because of ejaculation and the subsequent reversal of Apana Vayu, the Large Intestine gets filled with wind, thereby causing distention in the stomach and Large Intestine. This causes stiffness or pain in the lower back and also stiffness in the neck and on the bridge of the shoulders. Passing of wind also increases.
When the Apana travels upwards, it also increases acid flow as the Gall Bladder and Liver are agitated. This leads to excess secretion of digestive enzymes and bile thereby leading to the flow of acid back into the Small and Large intestines.
The Small Intestine, Large Intestine and Stomach have a natural mucus lining that prevent any excess acid formation from eating into the intestinal walls. When this excess acid is produced, excess mucus is produced which travels up to the lungs and sinus pockets. This leads to blockage of the nose and sinus passages.
In fact, the effect of masturbation is contrary to your belief or understanding.

David Ignatius: Obama's diplomatic opportunity in Persian Gulf
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is approaching one of those moments when a big turn in foreign policy is possible. People can debate whether it's the equivalent of the opening to China or the end of the Cold War, but there's no doubt that this is a time of opportunity — and that, as the …

Loading... Script.
Ok you can see an example of the script in my signiture however
that site is down. It will display the loading part and after about 20 seconds or so it will alert you a welcome message.
My plans are to make it so after the alert i have "document.write" script that will display all of the content on this one page. Then creating a nice 1 Page website that has everything you need on it.
Basiclly on that all I want is some information about document.write,
like can I make it write images, edit tags etc.
When I finish my website I will see if people concider the code useful and if so then I will put it up for use in the javascript codes.

Why would you want to use a document.write to write out a whole page. What about the users with JS disabled? They will see nothing. There are many preloading scripts out there already. Will link to a few in this post. Here is something I just wrote that degrades gracefully for users with JS disabled.

How is that script helpful? It really doesn't help load anything. Its only a page to make the user way longer. The content page doesn't load anywhere in the loading page. Maybe put the content page in a hidden iframe on the loading page?
its not suppose to be helpful, its a show thing. Its for people that dont know flash or none of that.

Let us know how Barnett receives your editings! I'm completely on your side, in this one. I didn't imagine that an intelligent person could still speak in terms of "fostering globalization's advance, or "integrating globalizations frontiers". That's what we used to call "crackpot realism."

"Spengler": "{They} are pacifists, not merely in the Persian Gulf, but on their own Balkans doorstep. If they cannot be bothered to reproduce, why should any European soldier sacrifice himself for future generations that never will be born?"
As a European (and a son of an officer in the Italian Army who in WWII was awarded the Silver Medal at El Alamein, and a nephew of another officer in the same Army who in WWI was awarded the Gold Medal at Monte Grappa, and a father of four children who in his young age served as a non-commissioned officer in "Divisione Folgore", "Battaglione Col Moschin", a parachutist force in the Italian Army about which you can ask any American Green Beret, or any British S.A.S.) I'd like to add something.
1) Unfortunately, there is something true in what Mr. Spengler writes. Many Europeans are, indeed, "pacifists" in the lower, sillier and dishounorable meaning of the word, aka they are not pacifists because they dislike killing, they are pacifists because they dislike to be killed. It is true, too, that too many Europeans prefer not to be fathers and mothers, which is of course a bad omen for any society.
2) I think that there are many causes for this unhappy predicament in which we Europeans find ourselves. I'll skip them all, except the following: most of European nations are militarily occupied countries, who lack the basical sovereignty of a free nation. The occupier are the United States of America, who won WWII, and 64 years later still keep their military bases on European soil.
This means that we are not free peoples; and as Etienne La Boétie (an intimate friend of Michel de Montaigne) used to say some six centuries ago, "la servitude est toujours volontaire", serfdom is always voluntary, mainly because when you are a slave, you have no responsibilities (except in keeping your master happy). Fighting one's own wars, and raising one's own children, are both a matter of responsibility. If we are not too good at them both, maybe it's because we still tolerate your domination.
But, who knows? As you say in America, "things change".
Fabius Maximus replies: Do you have any evidence that a large fraction of the people in western Europe consider the American's as "occupiers"? Otherwise this should be classified as imaginative nonsense, IMO."most of European nations are militarily occupied countries"
France is not an "occupied" nation in any sense. We have had no bases there since 1967; France has nukes. Are the French people not "pacifists", in the sense Spengler uses? Do the German's consider themselves less free than the French?
rbach permalink3 April 2009 12:12 pm
The big footprint by the US military may well be too costly for the US to maintain. However, the small footprint contacts with other militaries around the world–such as described by Robert Kaplan in Imperial Grunts– is one way to have a strategy the has potential for major impact to advance our interests globally.
Roberto Buffagni permalink3 April 2009 3:08 pm
"Do you have any evidence that a large fraction of the people in western Europe consider the American's as "occupiers"?"
I don't know if, in an imaginary referendum about your military bases, 51% of Europeans would vote for or against you (nobody knows, because this kind of referendum will never be held). I think that your military presence in Europe is the biggest case in the world of "elephant in the drawing room". And military occupiers you are, whatever the Europeans may think. Yes, we are allies, too: but if you don't think that foreign military bases on national soil amount to military occupation, why don't you ask us Europeans, in the quality of longtime allies, to build some military bases, well packed with nuclear missiles, on U.S. soil? In the present economic distress, it could help you to spare some bucks on your Defense budget, don't you think?"France is not an "occupied" nation in any sense. We have had no bases there since 1967; France has nukes."
You have no bases there, because General Charles de Gaulle -the greatest French and European patriot of XX century – sent you home, and contemporarily built his nuclear "force de frappe", because he wanted to get back France's sovereignty. You did not go away spontaneously, of course. I simply think that it's in Europeans' best interest (and duty) to do all over Europe just what de Gaulle did in France. It's very difficult, and maybe we'll never succeed, but I dont' think that it's "imaginative nonsense".
"Are the French people not "pacifists", in the sense Spengler uses?"
I can assure you, by personal knowledge and experience, that a "significant fraction" of French ruling class are NOT "pacifists" in the sense Spengler uses; and that when the French government stood against you, when you attacked Irak, the French people was happy and proud (and NOT because they were afraid to fight).
"Do the German's consider themselves less free than the French?"
I don't know. I know that they ARE, just like us Italians, less fre than the French. I can assure you, too, that "a significant fraction" of the Italian ruling class, and especially some of the best officers and high echelon public servants, are very tired of your military occupation. If you want an example, google "General Fabio Mini".
Fabius Maximus replies: Thank you for your candor. As expected, you were just making this up — imagining (without any evidence) that many or most of Europe's people shared your weird view that the US "occupies" Europe. Shifting the discussion from "Europe is occupied" to "Europe does not like our bases" was a nice try, but too obvious. (BTW — there was no need to repeat the material from the Wikipedia link I provided to the entry about France's exit from NATO; interested folks can click on the link.)No more of your rants, please. You have gone far off-topic from the Spengler quote you originally questioned.
3 April 2009 3:58 pm
Your suggested text is a great improvement on Barnett's thinking, which is saturated with paranoia and hubris, as your essay "America's Most Dangerous Enemy" pointed out. William Pfaff stated in "America's National Strategy of Global Intervention", posted at his website on 15 October 2008:
"The noteworthy thing about this National Defense Strategy statement is that it says nothing directly about American national defense. It is a strategy for intervening in other countries, and preventing others from blocking or resisting American interventions."
One interesting historical footnote on how we got here is that the "Department of Defense" was not the first name used when the War and Navy Departments were combined after World War II. Rather, it was termed the National Military Establishment. The name was changed because of the unfortunate acronym: NME.
Speaking of calling things by their proper names, gpanfile's comment #4 refers to the "military-industrial-political-financial complex". An earlier draft of Eisenhower's Farewell Speech about the military-industrial complex referred to the military-industrial-congressional complex. I suggest the term MICFiC – M ilitary I ndustrial C ongressional Fi nancial C orporate media complex

Europeans only want the good life. No children, minimal work, minimal civic responsibility, early retirement. US military bases are rarely encountered or considered in the overall equation. Instead, it is the abstract concept of a US defense umbrella over our heads, making European defense forces unnecessary, that has a weakening tendency on the spirit of Europe. "Someone else is watching over us, why should we bother?"
This is not to be a long term problem, as the indigenous population of Europe is going the way of the dodo, the neandertal, and the passenger pigeon. Time will alter the map so that those who have the will to strive and procreate will remake Europe in their own image.
Hear the cry of the native European homo sapiens. Preserved on this recording for posterity's sake. Just before he disappeared forever, a victim of his own good life.
FM note: Another excerpt from Spengler, "Why Europe chooses extinction", 8 April 2003:"For today's Europeans, there is no consolation, neither the old pagan continuity of national culture, nor the Christian continuity into the hereafter. The French know that Victor Hugo, Gauloise cigarettes, Chateau Lafitte and Impressionist painters one day will become a matter of antiquarian curiosity. The Germans know that no one but bored schoolboys will read Goethe two centuries hence, like Pindar. They have no ambition but to die quietly, no concerns except for those amusements which might reduce boredom and anxiety en route to the grave. They have no passions except hatred born of envy."
anna nicholas permalink3 April 2009 9:42 pm
I think many British people like myself would agree with Buffagni's comments; we are sick of being US poodle; sick of being EU pawns; we look with respect at the French. They even get away with demonstrating!
If Europeans do not have many children, have you ever asked them why? Firstly, caring parents tell girls they must, must have education when young, and then careers. When the good girls finally dare to opt out the rat race – they are past peak fertility. Others would love lots of kids, but have to both work, as homes are small (difficult to live with parents) and expensive. They cannot afford more than one or two kids. Also, baaad teenage girls who get pregnant are encouraged to abort, rather than helped to set up home with the father . Others feel it irresponsible to add too many to the worlds population, and dont feel their genes are anymore valuable than those of a woman who has no family planning available. Others are afraid their child will be born to a life of suffering in a bleak future. For most of us, 'not reproducing' actually involves quite a bit of bother!
Fabius Maximus replies: Do you believe that something so important has not been extensively studied? See the FM reference page about Demography – studies & reports, which has links to a wide range of reports — which will give answers, not guesses, to these important questions.As for your guesses about the opinions of the British people, I would perfer to see polls or studies. Experience has taught me that people tend to represent their views as those of their group.

FM, Great assessment and adjustments as always. This defensive posture will not only save money for current and future US generations, but will also get us more inline with constitiional constraints and restraints (of legacy Jeffersonains) rather than the excess free-trader/globalists (of legacy Federalists). I think we are returning to the same old historical grand strategy debates — too think we even have PIRATES reminding us of sea control priorities to protect global trade.
Reading the latest GAO report on IRAQ spending seems we are down at least a trillion on the gamble that could be spent on FCS or 313. I do not see any big fleets being bought for decisive battles at sea. I noticed on TB web-page some favorable comments for the THE GAMBLE; maybe someone should pick up were DANGEROUS NATION by ROBERT KAGAN left off…and CORBETT and the BRITISH got their modernation plan approved in the early part of last century — MAHAN was the inspriation just not the end-state for the older great power.
FM note: Kdog refers to "Global War on Terrorism: DOD Needs to More Accurately Capture and Report the Costs of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom", GAO, 19 March 2009 — Excerpt:"Since September 11, 2001, Congress has provided about $808 billion to the Department of Defense (DOD) for the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) in addition to funding in DOD's base budget. Prior GAO reports have found DOD's reported GWOT cost data unreliable and found problems with transparency over certain costs."
Note footnote #3, that this estimate does not include "reconstitution or reset costs for combat losses, accelerated wear and necessary repairs to damaged equipment or replacement with newer models, and costs to accelerate specific force capability." We are rapidly burning through the service life of the military's aircraft and ground vehicles. The cost to replace these will be massive. Larger than massive.

Perhaps providing a supply of these pills to everyone in the American military-industrial complex would reduce our military to a sensible size: "Shoplifters can be cured with a pill", The Telegraph, 3 April 2009 — "A drug commonly used to treat alcohol and drug addiction may help curb the urge to steal among prolific shoplifters, scientists have said."

Comment #8: "This is not to be a long term problem, as the indigenous population of Europe is going the way of the dodo, the neandertal, and the passenger pigeon."
Drawing trend lines is fun but not all that meaningful. There are over 700 million Europeans. A long way from dodo-hood, especially if you also include the Russians as one should. Urban populations naturally reach a certain saturation point and only by building more cities does more such growth occur. It could keep happening, but surely also we need populations in line with natural and regional resources so they can more or less feed themselves (at least).
At some point we are all going to have to wrap our heads around economic models that do not depend on perpetual geometric population growth. Sure, we can double again from here, maybe triple or quadruple, i.e. have 24 billion people worldwide. But at some point there will be a limit, and what then? Then maybe everywhere will be like Europe where most people enjoy a very high standard of living and vibrant community and national culture. They are still ahead of the international curve in this respect.
Personally, I have lived half my life in Europe and it 'feels' to me like basically there is a good mix of country and urban, albeit of late a bit too much of the latter versus the former. I would hate to see already overcrowded Paris and Rome double again, for increasingly encroached British countryside to be further undermined etc., nor do I think the France, for example, really 'needs' another great city like Paris. Enough is enough.
But our economic models have no notion of 'enough', only more. Perpetual progress neurosis essentially.
This relates to the larger theme of the thread in the sense that the American Empire model (in shorthand) also depends upon such perpetual growth along with establishing/imposing a certain model upon the involved populations in order to maximize profit and power in a 'hegemonic' fashion. Barnett's definition of the role of US naval power to facilitate such influence seems accurate to me, whether or not it is either truly helpful or necessary.
Fabius Maximus replies: This comment illustrates the nature of our problem, our broken observation-orientation-decision-action loop. Fertility rates are way below replacement, and still falling (although decellerating). The reasons are deeply rooted in our culture. At what point will folks like Erasmus decide Europe has a problem? When the population is down by 1/2 (a little over one generation for Japan and much of Europe)? Down by 3/4? Hopefully when there is time to take the long and difficult corrective measures to change something so fundamental and slow to alter as fertility rates.This is just a replay of the problems that got us to this point. Our economic policies — for example, our social retirement systems — were obviously flawed, as many experts warned decades ago. Yet we have folks who even today say that "Drawing trend lines is fun but not all that meaningful". Just imagining that everything will turn out well is much more pleasant and popular.
In the words of the immortal Dr. Pangloss: "all is the for the best in the this, the best of all possible worlds." Dr. Pangloss represents the thinking of a cultural that faces death, and deserves it according the harsh ways of Nature.

"our social retirement systems — were obviously flawed, as many experts warned decades ago"
Yep. Defined-benefit retirement plans – including Social Security – are Ponzi schemes.
Fabius Maximus replies: Defined-benefit plans are not ponzi schemes if fully-funded according to the relevant accounting rules (FASB 87 and 106). But the penalties for not doing so are inadequate.LikeLike

FM – Well said, WRTO your commentaries on other's commentaries. On the bright side, all things progress in waves, and nothing goes up or down forever. Europe won't go to zero, but the change in public opinion to something favoring policies that encourage continued existence will be long in coming – and unfortunately, for us, too, here in the US. I suspect we are in for a longer, naggingly painful time in the next 12 to 16 years. We'll be lucky if "boom" it gets really bad and then we recover.
Thank you for providing us your direct vision of reality, so that we may all share.

I don't claim to know public opinion in Europe about the U.S. military presence there. However, Prof. (retired Col.) Andrew Bacevich advocates moving our troops out: "How do we save NATO? We quit", op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, 2 April 2009 — Excerpt:
"The difference between 1949 and 2009 is that present-day Europe is more than capable of addressing today's threat, without American assistance or supervision. Collectively, the Europeans don't need U.S. troops or dollars, both of which are in short supply anyway and needed elsewhere. Yet as long as the United States sustains the pretense that Europe cannot manage its own affairs, the Europeans will endorse that proposition, letting Americans foot most of the bill. Only if Washington makes it clear that the era of free-riding has ended will Europe grow up."
Also note "Sarkozy, Merkel Frozen in the Cold War", Edouard Husson, Antiwar.com, 3 April 2009 — Husson is "a specialist in 20th-century German and European history at the Sorbonne". Excerpt:
"This is a sad time for France and the rest of Europe. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has decided – without asking the French Parliament and against the majority of the French people – that France must be reintegrated as a military power into NATO's command. This is not only a coup d'etat, it is also the most reactionary choice you could imagine. In trying to pull it off, Sarkozy is swimming against deep and forceful historical currents in Europe. In doing so, he may be bringing some comfort to the transatlantic elites, but it will be short-lived, because the peoples of Europe will resist the arbitrary will of their governments."

Re : Paranoia + Hubris = Thomas Barnett
Do guys like these listen to the way they talk? The whole U.S. economy's crumblin' right before everyone's viscera, so what's gonna fuel the MICFiC? More borrowin' from other nation-states who are up to their own neck in financial c***? Gonna take more than just firepower to solve America's present list of woes, economic & otherwise.
Fabius Maximus replies: I agree, except for one detail. The US trade account deficit (and hence foreign borrowing) decreases during recessions. The government will be funded by:
(1) private sector savings increase, as fear replaces greed in people's minds;
(2) private sector consumption and investment decreases, and these funds are channeled into government bonds;
(3) the government just prints money (monetizes the government debt).LikeLike

FM: "Experience has taught me that people tend to represent their views as those of their group."
Hmm, true, like Socrates? only talking to his friends. But I do talk to a lot of people from various, although far from all, groups.
Opinion polls can be misleading. My colleague's's husband was recently asked by a doorstep pollster, what worried him most. He replied " immigration". My colleague, once door shut, asked him in amazement why he'd said that, since they lived in a rural village with no immigrants and he was a busy gaming-machine repairer. He sheepishly replied "Its just been on the telly."
Fabius Maximus replies: By the numbers.(1) "Opinion polls can be misleading."
Of course polls are not perfect, but when properly conducted they have been proven of greater accuracy than people telling stories.(2) "My colleague's's husband was recently asked"
I don't understand why people consider these little stories significant. The plural of data is not "anecdote."(3) "like Socrates? only talking to his friends."
A bizarre comparison. I have never met Socrates — or Jesus, anyone like these exception folks. Until I meet such a person, I'll stick with my so-far-reliable rule of thumb and not trust the sort of impressions you assert as truth.

From the linked arltcie about the role of money in the last election:"Big Money's most significant impact on politics is certainly not to deliver elections to the highest bidders.

Fabius Maximus: It means the exact opposite. US households and corps are spending less and saving more. Much of those funds will be invested in treasuries. The 3 factors mentioned explain why the US needs far less foreign investment during recessions.LikeLike
anna nicholas permalink5 April 2009 7:13 pm
"Socrates only talked" (might have been debated or similar word) "with his friends" was a FM's own comment a few articles back.
I still think opinion polls are flawed, in the same way as computerised tick box examinations /personality profiles are flawed. A simple example would be the number of people who said they were Jedi warriors in the last UK census.
Fabius Maximus replies: I am awed that you made the connection to a 2 week old comment (I found it only with Google). I wish I had such a good memory! Still, the references to Socrates are unrelated.FM: "Experience has taught me that people tend to represent their views as those of their group."
Your reply: "Hmm, true, like Socrates? only talking to his friends"
Socrates was a great philosopher, whose understanding was beyond that of his peers (or almost anyone).The earlier reference was to my comment "As one who has burned time 'debating' on forums like Amazon, I disagree. Not that it might be useful in some theoretical sense, but that it is a waste of time. This is the equivalent of discussing politics with strangers at a bar. Socrates never did that, so far as we know, because he was smart and knew that life is too short to waste." That is, Socrates conversations were the opposite of idle chatter.
(2) Your comment about the census re-enforces my point. A national census (a large poll) is an imperfect measurement, but clearly more reliable than people's subjective guesses about these things.
YT permalink6 April 2009 3:05 pm
"Fabius Maximus: It means the exact opposite. US households and corps are spending less and saving more. Much of those funds will be invested in treasuries. The 3 factors mentioned explain why the US needs far less foreign investment during recessions."
As you can see, I've made a fool of myself with my pathetic grasp of U.S. policies & basic economics. Thanks for the pointers, FM.
Fabius Maximus replies: You made a mistake, like the countless ones I've made on this site (which is littered with corrections). I don't consider economics an essential part of an educated person's body of knowledge. Also, its a complex field — as much as any of the sciences.LikeLike

When George Clooney met a rabbi...
Jennifer Lipman
Mar 22, 2012When we think of Hollywood, we think of bright lights, red carpets, emotional speeches and fast-talking agents. We think of sparkly dresses and glamour, of put-upon-screenwriters and waiters waiting for their big breaks. We don't really tend to think of rabbis.
But perhaps we should. Because, despite sounding like a contender for the "film pitch that is least likely to see the light of day award", have you heard the one about George Clooney and Rabbi Steve Gutow?
Gorgeous George and Rabbi Gutow were among the motley crew of politicians and activists who were arrested last week during a demonstration outside the Sudanese Embassy.
Lord Sacks and the Whale
Simon Rocker
Mar 13, 2012I've heard quite a few people comment on the Chief Rabbi's recent Jewish Book Week conversation with mathematician Marcus du Sautoy.
I can't see that the Chief dropped any theological bombshells, although he did say, when asked about Jonah and the Whale, "No one has ever read these stories in the Jewish tradition literally."
Anyway, you can hear the exchange yourself because there is now a video of it on the Book Week website.

Jenni Frazer
Feb 27, 2012The news last week that there had been multiple resignations from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should have attracted rather more attention than it did. At least two of the resignations were whistleblowers who wanted to highlight the behaviour of a third colleague, the Prime Minister's bureau chief, Natan Eshel. Eshel has now resigned after admitting to sexual harassment of a female employee in the office.
It really says something when the country's former president is in prison for multiple sexual harassment and rape, and still there are men who believe they can behave as inappropriately as they like towards women, secure in the illusion that they are untouchable because they are in positions of power.
Eshel, plainly, learnt nothing from the Katzav affair. I do wonder, however, whether Mr Netanyahu himself has absorbed any useful lessons. He reserved his rage last week for his whistleblowing staffers because he had to learn about the Eshel situation from the media. Too much amour propre and not enough attention to what was going on, almost literally, under his nose.
Stop Iran? Easy, just ask 'em to
Orlando Radice
Feb 17, 2012Writing in this week's New Statesman, former weapons inspector Hans Blix calls Israel's use of the Stuxnet virus to hobble the Iranian nuclear programme and its assassination of the country's nuclear scientists an "outrageous, gangster-style war". So if you have solid evidence to believe that a country is developing the means to wipe you off the map, you are akin to a "gangster" when you seek to prevent that? Interesting argument…
Moral capitalism and the collapse of Jabe
Simon Rocker
Feb 15, 2012It is ironic when Prime Minister David Cameron and others have been talking of the need for moral capitalism that the Jewish Association for Business Ethics has folded owing to lack of funds.
JABE successfully exported Jewish ideas on ethical practice to schools and offices well beyond the Jewish community.
It grew out of an initiative, Integrity in Action, which was launched in partnership with the Chief Rabbi's Office. And therein lay the seeds of its downfall.
Rick Santorum's Chanucah faux pas
Jennifer Lipman
Feb 10, 2012A new kosher conundrum in the will they / won't they rollercoaster of the Republican presidential hopefuls. Did Rick Santorum really mean to send Jewish voters a card with a quote from the New Testament on?
Rick – he of the sweater vests and staunch Christian conservatism – was obviously hoping to shore up support from an unlikely corner when he sent the card last year (at least, I assume it was last year; getting the date of Chanucah wrong would have been an even bigger gaffe).
But really, dude? Even for those who want all the religions of the world to work together (and Santorum doesn't really strike me as a happy-clappy interfaith kind of guy), this is pretty bizarre.

Posted by Steven on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 1:37pm.
The force on the string is composed of two components, the weight of the ball, fy=mg, and the centripetal force due to rotation, fx=mrω².
m=0.2 kg
ω=2π/2s=π rad./s
Resultant force
I have a different interpretation of this problem. r is the radius of the circular path of what is in this case a conical pendulum, not the length of the string.
Let the string tension be T. Let the string angle from vertical be A. Let the period be P = 2s
T cos A = M g
T sin A = M V^2/R
= M*(2 pi)^2 R/P^2
T^2 = M^2 [g^2 + (2 pi)^4*(R^2/P^4)]
You can also solve for the angle A,
tan A= (2*pi)^2*R/(P^2/g)
which leads to
P = 2 pi sqrt[R/(g tanA)]
= 2 pi sqrt[R cosA/sinA]
= 2 pi sqrt(L cosA/g)
For an L = 0.5 m length string, with a period of P = 2s
L cosA/g = 1/pi^2 s^2
This leads to an impossible value for cos A, greater than 1
The problem is overdetermined and the input data are inconsistent. The period of a mass on a string 0.5 m long in a conical orbit cannot be as long as 2 seconds. The same applies to a plane pendulum of that length.
I agree that it is impossible.
My previous solution omitted the reduction of radius as the angular speed is decreased.
If L=length of the string,
and θ=angle of string with vertical,
On simplicication,
=1.98 which is impossible
For the system to work, either the length has to be doubled, or the period reduced to 1.4 sec. or less
In short, the data from the question should be confirmed or revised.

Lurg Smash
Hi there, I have been playing LOL for about a year now just mostly normal games and bot games with friends. What different expectations are there for competitive play and is there a nooby guide for it? Yes stupid question, but I rather ask here than give someone a hit on their ranking in the game. -Lurg
Senior Member
Your basic guide generally is to be comfortable with 2 champions in each role. Type more the better.being able to adapt to different team comps with more champions will reflect in your elo. Other than that it's pretty much the same as normal games. You wanna do whatever it takes to win the game. Figuring out his you are gonna win games is the key to moving up As always if you need more practice. Draft normals are great for practicing

Williams Field and Phoenix Thunderbird met in a memorable 4A Division II championship game last season, with the Chiefs pulling out a 25-22 overtime win.
Both teams are threats to advance far into the Division III state tournament this season, but only one will be left standing after Friday night.
The eighth-seeded Black Hawks will host No. 9 Thunderbird in one of the more intriguing first-round matchups in Division III. Many of the key players are back from that game, including the star running backs (Williams Field's Alex Howard and Thunderbird's Connor Hustead and Kani Benoit) from both sides.
"We haven't over-emphasized (the rematch) too much, but we've definitely talked about it," Williams Field coach Steve Campbell said.
In a way, Campbell is happy to be playing such a noteworthy opponent.
Two seasons ago, Williams Field was undefeated heading into the regular season finale before losing to Arcadia.
Campbell felt the loss affected the team mentally heading into the postseason, and the Black Hawks were upset in the first round by Tucson Amphitheater.
Last Friday, Williams Field was beaten by Queen Creek, but instead of questioning its worth, Campbell feels his team will immediately turn its attention to the Chiefs.
"We knew once we lost (to Queen Creek) we would be playing a good team (to open the playoffs)," Campbell said. "It grabbed the attention of the guys on the team."
The big test will be slowing down Benoit and Hustead, who have each rushed for more than 1,150 yards on the season. Hustead was the thorn in Williams Field's side in the title game, rushing for 154 yards and a touchdown and returning a kick 99 yards for a score to lead Thunderbird to the upset.
"Those backs are good," Campbell said. "They're big-play backs. And there's two of them."
The Black Hawks have a star runner of their own in Howard. He has rushed for 1,701 yards this season and leads the state with a 14.5 yards-per-carry average.
He will need to carry much of the load, because Williams Field will be without wide receiver Sean Schweichler, Campbell said. He is the team's second-leading rusher and is a dangerous punt and kick returner.
Schweichler played sparingly against Queen Creek, but aggravated a knee injury while jumping up to catch a pass in the second half.
"It's a different type of thing for a kid like Sean because of his running style," Campbell said. "He's a tough kid. He's played most of the year with a messed up thumb, but with his type of running style, you just can't tough through (a knee injury). He's an elusive speed guy, and this takes that factor away from him."
Outside of Saguaro, there seems to be some parity in Division III, so the winner has a chance to stay alive awhile. It's a tough draw for both teams, as it guarantees one will be turning in pads and helmets Saturday morning, something that would leave Williams Field short of its goals.
"The expectations for these kids isn't going to the playoffs or to win the first round game, it's to go deep into the playoffs," Campbell said.

Ever since I found out that making your own pasta is not that difficult I've been wanting to make cannelloni. It would've been a lot easier to buy pasta at the store, but I just couldn't do that. I know that people who make their own pasta will agree with me that once you start making your own you don't want to ever go back. So today I got working on my pasta, my filling and my sauce to make my very first cannelloni. Everything was going well until I put the pasta to drain. I forgot to add some olive oil and when I was about to stuff it I found out that it had stuck! What a stupid mistake. So my pasta broke and ripped and I got ugly, yet very tasty, cannelloni.
For the filling I used a mixture of ground turkey, frozen mixed vegetables that I found in my freezer and shredded mozzarella cheese. However the best part was the sauce. I made a Bechamel sauce and added garlic, rum and tomato sauce. Oh, it turned out so delicious that I am so claiming copyright over it! Since sauces usually receive the name of their creators I am naming this one Beristain sauce (Beristain being my second last name) Here is the recipe:
Turkey cannelloni with Beristain sauce:
Serves 2-4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutesFor this recipe you will need:
- 1/2 recipe homemade pasta
For the filling:
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 lb (500 gr) ground turkey
- 1 8 oz (250 gr) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
For the sauce:
- 2 TBSP butter
- 2 TBSP minced garlic
- 2 TBSP rum
- 2 TBSP flour
- 2 cups milk
- pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 to 1 cup tomato sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- Roll out your pasta until you get a thin rectangular sheet. Approximately 10″ x 12″ x 1/4″ (25cm x 30 cm x 0.5cm)
- Cut 3″ x 6″ (7cm x 15cm) rectangles and put them to dry. About 2 hours.
- When the pasta is dry cook al dente.
- In a large skillet sautee onions and garlic in olive oil. Add ground turkey and cook until brown. Add vegetables and cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a saucepan heat milk until it is about to boil. Keep and eye on it. Remember milk loves to boil over the moment you turn around. Set aside.
- In a medium size saucepan melt butter over medium high heat. When the butter is very hot add minced garlic and let it cook for 3 minutes (be careful not to burn it) Add rum and bring to a boil.
- Remove from the stove and add sift flour into the butter. Mix well.
- Add the milk a little at a time and keep stirring until well mix.
- Return to the stove and keep mixing until the sauce thickens and starts boiling.
- Add nutmeg, salt and pepper and tomato sauce. Stir well and bring back to a boil.
- Pre-heat ovent to 350°F (175ºC)
- Stuff your pasta with the filling and shredded mozzarella. This was the part where I wasn't very successful. Here's a video that will be of much help.
- Pour some sauce at the bottom of a baking dish and arrange your cannelloni. Pour sauce on top of the cannelloni and bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
About this recipe:
- The instructions are quite lenghty but you can reduce the amount of time by getting your pasta done beforehand (or buying it at the store)
- The filling can be anything you like. Next time I will try chicken or a vegetarian version.
- The part that was absolutely delicious was the Beristain sauce (yes, I am keeping the name) You really have to try it.
- I didn't put any cheese on top because there was cheese in the filling already and milk in the sauce. That was more than enough dairy for me.
Does having my own sauce makes me famous? LOL. This is my entry for the weekly event Presto Pasta Nights over at Ruth's blog. This is one event I try not to miss.
Buen provecho!

You call this a disaster? lol
It looks more like you saved the dish…canelloni is one of my fave pastas…bravo Senor!
Good on you (again!) for having the courage to make your own pasta…and this doesn't look like a disaster to me. More like delicious goodness…well done Ben.
I'm getting you a chef's hat for Christmas. You did an excellent job. You cannelloni look divine. And I have absolutely no doubt they taste equally divine. You are an excellent cook (and baker) Ben. Kudos to you my young friend.
If that's a "disaster", well it sure doesn't look it. Give me a plate of that and I'll show you disaster. Haha.
I have yet to make my own pasta and I'm afraid. I might end up being too fussy about my pasta after that!
Ben this is not a disaster is a lovely and nice food, looks really yummy, Im son hungry now!!!! xxGloria
This all looks good, Ben, but the sauce, in particular, seems heavenly. Amazing!
send your next disaster to my house ben!! this looks great!
Lo bueno es que te animaste a hacer tu pasta!
Se ven deliciosos los canelones… y supongo que haciendo la pasta uno es mejor.. yo he intentado hacerlos con los comerciales y siempre, siempre se rompen… y en esos casos mejor hago lasaña! jejeje! o la otra: con láminas de lasaña los hago, pero no me gusta como quedan, ya que las láminas son chicas, así que quedan medio extraños! jeje!
I think it looks great Ben! You could never tell they were broken! As long as they are tasty who cares! Well done, my friend!
I can imagine making bigger sort of pasta is pretty hard, we've only done small things. congrats to you for making it looks so good!
